Yeah I've been thinking about this, the one who ate him was some old-man looking one wasn't it? It makes me wonder:

Spoiler :

Whether the titans change appearance according to who they ate. But how would this apply if they ate more than one person? And does this mean constantly changing their appearances? Which doesn't seem quite right either. Also what happens to the previous person in the titan? Are they replaced by the new person? Or does the new person form a new titan? I'm so confused now haha. XD I hope the next episode clears up some of this when Eren awakens so they can interrogate him. XD

Oh but I can't wait to see Levi appear in the next episode! I've heard great reports about him from some manga reader friends of mines so I'm really excited to see him in action!

In regards to the dumb titans, I'm guessing it's a virus. When a titan eats a human and the human survives being eaten, they sit in the stomach which is how they contract the virus. When a titan eats too much they vomit the human(s) (who is most likely unconscious if they're still alive) and after a certain amount of time they become a titan pilot similar to Eren, which is why they die when being sliced at the nape of the neck. Their loss of limb and/or body parts probably attributes to their weird anatomy and why they're dumb is probably due to believing that they're already dead and in some kinda nightmare trance from being eaten alive. And the more they eat and/or the longer they live, the bigger they get until their body can no longer support their size.something like that anyways

Some very valid points 8bit_samura as extra evidence to your analysis I'd like to point out

Spoiler :

that when Reiner confessed to being the armoured titan, he showed his regret at chosing that path but from what I remember said he was just a kid who didn't know anything - so probably just did but his father told him too. He said that he might as well go through it all the way because he can't redeem hmself from his action of breaking wall maria. Also I think there was a flashback showing that Ymir killed his family in titan form so maybe she knew that they were part of the cult aiming to destroy humanity and tried to stop it based on her knowledge?

Relating to Ymir. Firstly that little side story about one of the scouting legion girls getting stuck outside the wall carrying a journal, remember that titan she was talking to? I think i remember it kept saying "ymir-sama" and bowing down to her in respect thinking she was ymir... then there's the whole thing with Ymir being able to read the label of a bottle which Reiner couldn't so maybe she's from a past civilisation

Avoiding all the manga spoilersssssssssss. D: I've held on for 9 weeks, not gonna cave now.

Anyway-

Spoiler :

Eren sure picked the wrong time to say "I'll kill you all", that creepy grin didn't help him much either. Poor guy.

Oh but Levi was pretty badass this episode. Showing us the power of the Recon Corps! And he was so nice to that dying soldier, worrying that he might not have heard all his words. Plus that girl with him looks like she's gonna be pretty awesome too!
